Round 1: Question 1

So what's the point of this?
As minority interests go, the diary of a quizmaster (or is that quiz master) must be more minority than most.
So why am I doing this and who do I think might possibly be interested in reading it?
I guess we can look at the words that will follow over the next few months as an attempt to answer that question, as i have no idea at the moment. Let's just see how we go, shall we?
Practically speaking, I will be writing about my experiences as a quizmaster - no, QuizMaster, that's best - running quiz nights up and down Britain and perhaps beyond. This, strangely, is what I do for a living, and the responses I get when I tell people this, ranging from wide-eyed incomprehension through hysterical laughter (the most common) to a strange envious delight, at least lead me to think that there might be some worth in charting this niche occupation.
We'll see.
Anyway - first quiz of 2008 tomorrow, a corporate event in Frimley, Surrey - Frimley, of course, currently the centre of the known universe as the venue for the BDO World Darts Championship. An ideal place to start, and hopefully i'll be able to provide half the entertainment of Martin 'Wolfie' Adams and of course Ted ' The Count' Hankey.
Interesting year ahead for my company, QuizQuizQuiz (yes, and proud) as we can hopefully continue to expand and branch out into different quiz avenues, or quavenues (there'll be a lot of that).
Ready to spread the quiz magic.Is Frimley ready? Answers later.
